Douchebags Intro for September 19, 2023 Dear Gossips, As Maria mentioned yesterday in Celebrity Social Media, Jann Wenner is getting a lot of blowback for comments made during his interview with David Marchese in the NYT to promote his latest book, The Masters, which includes interviews with Bono, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, By Lainey • Sep 19, 2023 09:18 am
What Else What Else? Jessica Chastain, a total f-cking showstopper in this dress. I was a bit worried, initially, that from the side those diamonds would look a bit… Big Toppy? Like clown and circus? But it works. And those colours are great on her. It’s just a hint of green but against By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 04:01 pm
Music Justin Timberlake 2024 It’s been almost a week since the *NSYNC reunion last week at the MTV VMAs during which JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Justin Timberlake showed up on stage to present Taylor Swift with an award.

Music The Bennifer Drought is Over In my last post about Jennifer Lopez, I wrote – and not even jokingly – that we were in a sort of Bennifer drought, because by their standards, they hadn’t been photographed together in almost a month. That’s not to say that that’s a problem, I was simply pointing By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 12:50 pm

Douchebags Intro for September 18, 2023 Dear Gossips, Trigger warning for sexual assault. It’s been years since I’ve paid all that much attention to Russell Brand, and frankly I don’t want to start paying attention to him again. In the periphery, though, I was aware that he’d been swerving to the right By Lainey • Sep 18, 2023 09:26 am
Media Manipulation Pacifist Good Samaritan, a short film starring Jonathan Majors Jonathan Majors’s publicist and legal team probably don’t want me to be calling this video a short film. But life is art, and in our times we live our lives on screen. Sure, there’s a possibility that this was indeed an unscripted, totally spontaneous event but the By Lainey • Sep 15, 2023 10:30 am

What Else What Else? It is so great to see Tori Kelly back out, after her health crisis earlier this year, and now she’s on tour. She kicked off in Toronto just the other day.

Top Reads Margot on the picket line SAG-AFTRA organised a rally yesterday from Netflix Studios to Paramount Studios and it looked like a strong turnout. The reason they did it yesterday is because it marked exactly two months since the union issued the strike on July 13. Since then SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have not met a By Lainey • Sep 14, 2023 09:30 am
Music Intro for September 14, 2023 Dear Gossips, People have been buzzing online the last few days about the Destiny’s Child website.
